Language Packs (V 1.5)
Parlez-vous français? ¿Habla Español? Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
TextScout can speak more than just one language, so you can have foreign-language texts read out to you in the correct language. TextScout even recognises the text's language automatically and selects the appropriate voice. Now that's convenient …
Your TextScout license includes up to three languages. The first language is activated automatically during the installation of TextScout – it's the same as the menu language. Additionally, you may choose two other languages from the following list.
Please note: The language activation is irrevocable, i.e. you won't be able to swap any of the activated languages lateron, so please listen to the voice sample before installing and activating a language pack.

Installation notes
TextScout makes a distinction between the menu language and the reading languages. The menu language is used for the menus as well as for reading out the recognition results. It is activated automatically during the TextScout installation and defined by the phone's global language settings. The reading languages are exclusively used for reading out the results. For every language there may be one or more voices available.
The reading languages are installed in the same way as the menu language. A detailed description is given in the TextScout instruction manual (see chapter 4.4 and appendix A.4). During the next launch of TextScout, you will be asked whether you would like to activate the installed language. The activation is irrevocable, i.e. you won't be able to swap the language you just activated for another one afterwards. Dialects such as British and American English count as two separate languages.
It isn't possible to select a different speaker for the reading langauges in the TextScout main menu, so you should decide which voice you like the best before installation. If you would like to install a new voice of the same language, you need to remove the old voice from the phone first.
